Uncle Ben's Blog

I would like to first pre-apologize for anything I may say in this blog post. Even though you haven’t read it yet, I feel the need to make sure no one is offended by something that if they didn’t read or knew existed, they would’ve lived their lives as if I never said it, which I’m no philosophy major, but if you didn’t hear it, how do you know it made you mad? Holy sticks and stones, Batman! What a fucking world we live in. I’m sorry to get off on a rant here but enough is enough. Look, I don’t condone shit behavior. Act like an asshole, you’re going to get treated like one. But you do have the right and the ability to act like an asshole. Just because what someone says, does, acts, doesn’t mean they can’t do the thing that offends you. I’m not advocating total societal anarchy; I understand we all live together and must abide by some sort of cultural code just so that we don’t revert to our neanderthalic roots. But we live in a world where you have to apologize publicly to keep your job even though what you are apologizing for in some instances is your job. It used to be that if you didn’t like what some person, people, company, etc. said or did, you simply did not associate with that person/group. Easy. Done. Game over. Thanks for playing. Now, everyone is all up in everyone else’s business and wants you apologize for something they probably would never of heard of had it not been for the tattletale society we live in now. Say a bad word? Some fuck will post the video online to merit his moral authority self-worth. Have a certain belief that may not jive with the social fad trending presently? Better apologize even though you’re allowed to believe whatever the fuck you want. If you believe in the alien Lord Assjuice and will worship his feet while only eating cheese and wearing a hat made of saran wrap, go ahead. If it doesn’t concern me or affect my or the populous’ lives, have at it. There was a time where we actually believed that words didn’t matter. Sticks and stones and all that jazz, remember? We were taught to take insults and build character with them. Or internalize them and let them fester until it explodes with a feast of rage. 6 in 1. Again, I’m not saying or advocating shitty behavior. Yes, teach tolerance and caring and respect and all that shit. Just don’t act entitled and shitty when you find out that this world is full of intolerant, non-caring, disrespectful people who (surprise) don’t think EXACTLY like your bitch ass does. Now I’d like to post-apologize for anything you have previously read that may have offended you or anyone around you. But I digress…
